Barefoot Billy Horschel is *back* swinging from the creek and this one didn’t go so well

The Masters is grueling this year, largely thanks to runaway greens, but let’s just try to appreciate the fact that sometimes the course wins and you just hand the green jacket to the golfer who handles it best.

That golfer is not going to be Billy Horschel, who is tied for 39th as I type this. However, we’re probably going to remember Billy Horschel’s 2021 Masters because he keeps taking his shoes off and doing funny things on the golf course.

On Saturday he went slip sliding down a grassy hill but ultimately hit a wonderful shot out of a creek to save par.

On Sunday he was not so lucky:

Can’t lie: The babble of this brook is quite peaceful. I bet having your feet in there would be really refreshing, if you were to do this during, say, a regular old round of golf and not one of the most important events of the year.

As it is, Horschel carded an 8 on the par-5 No. 13 here and slipped down the leaderboard.

He’s not enjoying himself all that much.
